Some Don'ts After Installing CyberPanel!

After installing CyberPanel there are somethings that you don't want to do for having a smooth experience.

Don't upload files via SFTP

When you upload files via sftp they are owned by root, and CyberPanel runs each account through its own user, so once you have uploaded content via root, you might start getting permissions errors. More details can be found here.

Even though file manager now has one-click fix permission button to get rid of this issue, but this is still not a recommended way to upload content.

The recommended way is to use File Manager and FTP. They both use the same user as which scripts are executed for a particular site.

Note: As soon as files are owned by root, file manager may not be able to access and you will start having issues.

Do not remove the Example vhost

Example vhost contains files to run File Manager, so if you delete or make any changes to example vhost , File Manager will stop working.

It applies to .filemanager context only, without this file manager api can be accessed.

Did you mean, that is the only protection method of "file manager api"?
So if I attacked a share hosting site on the CyberPanel server, through which I could contact the "file manager api" (because I was querying from localhost), and "file manager api" did not ask me Any authentication as long as I query from localhost?
So, can I access Filemanager of any website hosting share on CyberPanel if I own one website located on the same server?
And when you enable the "Use Client IP in Header" function, you will also be prevented from accessing FilemangerFailed to load resource: server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)

Got it running this time, tried the first time and apparently it ran out of ram even if nothing else was running and it was over the min, 512MB ram. Reinstalled and enabled a swap portion and the script ran fine. Where's the ssl certificate stored for the control panel, want to upload my own valid ssl certificate for it. Edit: would be nice if there was a option to manage ssl after creating the website, like options to upload my own ssl certificate and for auto creation with Let's Encrypt (which was nice that you added that). I also can't find a option to create a admin user, only reseller or normal users, it exist in the modify option, just not during creation. One last thing that would be nice is setting up resource quota for users so users can't take up all of it for themselves. But overall, this is a really well done panel, love how it looks.

SSL Certs are stored at

/usr/local/lsws/conf/vhosts/SSL-example.com/

We have Administrators and Normal users only, Reseller is not available now. You should be able to create administrators and normal users.

From website control panel you can also save your customs SSLs too without going into command line.

Still can not access Filemanager if you use a reverse proxy as Cloudflare, CDN, Sucuri...

The update addresses the security issue in the File manager, I do not understand your issue?

When you use a reverse proxy such as Cloudflare for a domain,

Openlitespeed blocks incoming IPs from Cloudflare or Real IPs of visitors to Filemanager because of the following configuration:

accessControl {
allow 127.0.0.1, localhost
deny 0.0.0.0/0
}

Because Openlitespeed recognizes the real Ip of the visitor (It is not 127.0.0.1):

I want to ask how the mechanism upload a file by Filemanager like?
You do not upload the file directly (size 100MB or more) to a direct IP of the server?
Instead, it will not upload directly to the IP of the server but via a Domain name, For example: web7.example.com/.filemanager/,
So you will upload the file through the Reverse proxy of the domain: web7.example.com, I think this is a bad idea. Because I go directly to the server's IP https: //x.x.x.x: 8090 but when I upload a file it goes through a Reverse proxy?

The file will go from me -> to the Cyberpanel Server IP -> and to the Reverse Proxy Server (Because domain is using Reverse proxy) -> then back to the Cyberpanel Server IP ...
This is disaster, I think people will always want to upload files directly from them to the IP of the server.

You can remove this part if you need since File manager does additional checks now. It is supposed to work this way to follow Suexec pattern, otherwise, if we run this as root, file and folders uploaded are owned via root and there can be other security issues.
